Ingrid Jensen Workshop - Breathing, Resonant Notes, Improvisation | FONT Music 2020

Ingrid Jensen presents a workshop to demonstrate how she uses breathing exercises and resonant pitches to develop fluidity on the trumpet and inspire her improvisation. Recorded for the 2020 Festival of New Trumpet Music, this video also includes two performances with Kris Davis (piano), Nate Radley (guitar), and Jon Wikan (drums).
